ETU350M electronic release with phase-failure detection. The 330 kA rating at 240 V is the headline figure, but the real-world coordination study uses the 242 kA at 415 V or 440 V — common in North American 480Y/277 V and European 400 V distribution. At 690 V the breaker still clears 52.5 kA, covering industrial drives and mining equipment fed from 690 V grids. The 181 mm height leaves clearance for auxiliary wiring and the undervoltage release module. ## Auxiliary contacts and releases The auxiliary release design is the undervoltage type, factory-fitted as order code 3VA9608-0BB24.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2163-7MN36-0CH0 SENTRON MCCB, 63 A, 330 kA at 240","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2163-7MN36-0CH0 molded case circuit breaker, 63 A rated, 330 kA breaking capacity at 240 V.
